Answer 3

this is from wikipedia hope it helped: The author′s note is an integral part of the novel. Unusually, the note describes entirely fictional events. It serves to establish and enforce one of the novel′s main themes: the relativity of truth.

Life of Pi is subdivided into three sections. In the first section, the main character, by the name of Pi Patel, an adult Canadian, reminisces about his childhood in India. His father owns a zoo in Pondicherry. The livelihood provides the family with a relatively affluent lifestyle and some understanding of animal psychology. Pi describes how he acquired his full name, Piscine Molitor Patel, as a tribute to the swimming pool in France. After hearing schoolmates tease him by transforming the first name into ″Pissing″, he establishes the short form of his name as ″Pi″ when he starts secondary school. The name, he says, pays tribute to the irrational number which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In describing his experiences, Pi describes several other unusual situations involving proper names: two visitors to the zoo, one a devout Muslim, and the other a committed atheist, bear identical names; and a memorably 450-pound tiger at the zoo bears the name Richard Parker as the result of a clerical error in which human and animal names were reversed.[9]
